"A farmer, wearing his hat, John Bullish and intimidating, hand resting on a cudgel, stands in a plainly furnished room staring fixedly at a closed door, at which a dog is sniffing. A plumed cocked hat, sword, and boots, just outside the door, tell their story. He says to a terrified maidservant who holds a lighted candle: 'Hulloa Girl! what the devil's all this?--Bring the light this way.--Where's your Mistress?--'. She answers: '--Why, Sir, She--she--she--sh--e--e--e--e--e--e--'. Above the hearth are two small pictures: 'Virtue Rewarded' and 'Village Innocence'. A wall clock points to 10.30. Through a casement window is seen a violent zigzag of lightning."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Seven men (three-quarter length) are grouped round a card-table in a Smithfield tavern. One (right), young and innocent, inspects his cards; beside him an older countryman lies back asleep (right), his dog resting his head on his knee. The other gambler (left), holding his cards, looks at his victim. Three onlookers have crafty expressions. A fat man, smoking, approaches with a bowl of punch. In the bar (left) a fat woman chalks up a score. Coins, a watch, and pocket-book are on the table. A broken mirror and a picture of a horse decorate the walls. Beneath the table are twelve lines describing the sleep of 'Old Trusty' while his son is cheated by 'the Harpy-Tribe'."--Biriths Museum online catalogue
Alternative Title:
Countrymen defrauded
Description:
Title from item., Curator's note from British Museum catalogue: The card-playing sharper is a portrait of Rowlandson, the country lad is reputed to be J. K. Sherwin; though this seems unlikely, since Sherwin was then thirty-six, the identification is supported by the self-portrait of the engraver. In 'The Gamesters', a mezzotint by Ward, after Peters, 1786, the card-sharper holding an ace behind his back is Rowlandson [Said to be the Prince of Wales, according to Challoner Smith (iv. 1485).]; the resemblance to the card-player in this plate, and in a mezzotint, 'A Game at Cribbage' ... is convincing., Sheet trimmed within plate mark., Twelve lines of verse in two columns on either side of title: Old Trusty with his town made friends ..., Temporary local subject terms: Gambling: sharpers -- Furniture: card-table -- Furniture: bar -- Countrymen -- Card players -- Barmaids -- Pocketbooks., and Mounted to 38 x 49 cm.

Abstract:
"A parson, grotesquely fat, short, and carbuncled, stands in profile to the right, addressing an old woman seated outside the open door of a gin-shop, smoking a pipe. She holds a small tankard and a glass. He says, with an expression of scandalized horror: "Woman - are you not ashamed of yourself to be sitting smoking and drinking in Service time! - do you know Who I am woman? - I am the Parson of the Parish." She looks over her shoulder at him, puffing a cloud of smoke contemptuously in his face and says: "More shame for you I say, to be walking about troubling your head with other peoples consarns - when you ought to be in Church Preaching your Sarmint!!" A small dog walks by the parson. Over the door (right) is 'Rich Cordial Gin' in large letters. A shallow zinc tray covers a counter just within the door. Into this runs a vertical pipe with two taps. On it stands a miniature cask bestraddled by a Bacchus. Behind it is a large cask of 'Old Tom'. Opposite, and on the extreme left., is the corner of a pawn-shop, with the sign of three balls. In the background are a church and houses in a street."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Six country people surround a flaming bowl on a small round table. A man jocosely holds a terrified cat over the bowl to force it to pull out a raisin.
